Hardin Memorial sets up triage tent for virus testing

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, March 31, 2020

In order to help reduce the possibility of transmission of COVID-19, Hardin Memorial Hospital will erect a triage tent outside the emergency department (ED) entrance.  

The goal is to keep those who have flu-like symptoms separate from those who do not.

This is a proactive measure we are taking to be prepared in the event the process of outside triage becomes necessary.

It is NOT a walk-up site for COVID-19 screening.

How it will work…
When a patient comes to the ED for treatment of an injury or other reason, they will first go into the triage tent where they will be quickly screened.

Each Ada generation has something of it's own:
A blizzard

A stock market crash

Life before the internet
Going to school before doors were locked
A church fire

The list goes on. 

Ada residents experiencing life in the spring of 2020 have something of their own –  something to talk with their grandchildren about.

It's a virus that keeps people from shopping, from going to church, from going to school, to prom, graduation, funerals, Easter egg hunts, spring sports events, pancake breakfasts,  the movies, to work, to the library, to Taveren 101. The list goes on.
